When talking about making history winning two fights in a span of ten days in the UFC, Khamzat said that was his regular routine during his time in Chechnya. “We created history for ourselves on the streets. I’ve never lost a fight. Thank god…not yet. I definitely didn’t lose with my character. I fought with the boys,” said Khamzat.
“I still know this guy. We are friends now, he is in the 11th grade and I’m in the 5th grade. He was not that big but bigger than me anyway. I’m near school, I don’t remember, there was a brawl. I say let’s go and we went. He started throwing me from right to left for about 10 minutes. Then he got tired and I started hitting him,” said Chimaev about his childhood fights.
